Donnie Brasco

I wonder how many times the word "fuck" came up in this movie... [looks it up] 172. They said it 172 times. Way to desensitize!
If this movie were not based off of a true story, it might be half as interesting. A lot of it is character development and a lengthy introduction to the lifestyle. . . Not incredibly plot-intensive, unfortunately. But not a bad movie, either.
It's a realistic-type film, and I prefer the epic overly-artsy kind, but it was well-done and pretty true to the story. I don't like how they omitted the trial-- which seems to be one of the key elements of this drama, and I don't like the way it cut off without a whole lot of closure. I did not like watching people get screwed over time and again, in a situation where not even the "hero" wants to do something about it (or may be the cause, as it were). As always Johnny Depp stands out more than seems fair for any mortal man, but there were some really good other actors at his side this time. The saddest part of this movie (besides the beginning where he had that ewwie mustache) was the part where his 6 years of Mafia infiltration ended in a $500 check.

Mmm... D... Yeah I saw this yesterday... yesterday being Friday, July 7, 2006. It was really amazing, D is cool, the steriotypical quiet loner who was actually done right. And cute! ;)

Final Fantasy VII - Advent Children
PG-13
Great movie! Next time put in more hot-hot Vincent action, kay Squeenix? I really need to review this more fully... Advent Children was weak and flawed. However, in this day and age, its hard to ask much more than this. The graphics were among the most beautiful I've ever seen. And though the plot lacked in some ways, the window back into a beloved game was well enjoyed.

Pride and Prejudice
Unrated
Mr. Darcy is such a Squall! Weird enough, I found a lot of parallels between this and Final Fantasy VIII. Maybe I was just trying to hard. -_-' The teacher who showed me this thought it was so surprising when Mr. Darcy did that thing that if I said would ruin the movie for everyone, tempting as it is, but I thought it was quite obvious. Maybe it's because I love men like him.

Public Enemies
by Alexander''I like baseball, movies, good clothes, fast cars... and you. What else you need to know?''
The Feds try to take down notorious American gangsters John Dillinger, Baby Face Nelson and Pretty Boy Floyd during a booming crime wave in the 1930s.
Johnny Depp: John Dillinger
The latest offering from Micheal Mann highlights the infamous John Dillinger and the 1930s depression era, a time of high crime and when bank robbery was big business. Public Enemies is expertly shot, if what sometimes dizzyingly shakey true to Mann's style, poise, and essence in the way he shoots and makes a film. It is also a historical story filmed in a modern way which puts a totally new spin on things. Interestingly the costumes, sets and chases are excellently displayed, and we really believe we are right there with them in the 1930s in all it's glory.
What can I say about the cast? It's a star laden cast thats for sure. Of course, we have Johnny Depp as enigmatic bank robber Dillinger. We have the opposite end of the table, Christian Bale as Melvin Purvis, the FBI Agent on Dillingers trail. The rest of the cast includes Marion Cotillard as John's love interest Billie Frechette, David Wenham, Billy Crudup, and numerous other appearances. The acting as expected is top notch, the direction and tempo moderately paced, blending drama with action.
''They ain't tough enough, smart enough or fast enough. I can hit any bank I want, any time. They got to be at every bank, all the time.''
So how does Public Enemies fare against the other treats Micheal Mann has given us? Is it as good as Heat? Is it another Collateral or mixed bag like Miami Vice was for fans and critics? I feel that it's an amazing film, however I did not get any sensation after watching that this was a masterpiece of film. At times its void of humour, sometimes the plot tends to go round in a circle and of course, the ultimate outcome of John Dillinger is one we can see coming a mile away. An outcome that is more than possibly echoed in history by an array of infamous characters.
So we get the cars, the women, the bank robberies, the prison escapes, and the fast paced car chase and shootouts to name but a few of Public Enemies attractions. It is a joy as always to see Christian Bale and of course Johnny Depp sharing the big screen and doing there respective thing. Public Enemies is a bold effort by Mann, in my opinion I expected something more, and probably because I am a Mann fan, pardon the pun, I did not feel that this matched his earlier offerings. Granted the shootouts are typical Mann and I think I may have missed the trademark blue scene true to his signature in-print to his movies.
Public Enemies is going to be a big hit this summer, thanks to the lure of it's two stars, the fact it is Micheal Mann, and the fact it is a historical insight into another world. I would recommend seeing it but it's the type of film you wouldn't necessarily would want to go and see again, and this for me is a disappointment. So the end summary I would give, Public Enemies is great but very over-hyped. Great performances from it's three main stars and dazzling action, but don't expect a feel good conclusion. At least Mann did a killer soundtrack, I'd watch it again for that.
Melvin Purvis: The only way you're walking out of this jail cell is when we take you out to execute you.
John Dillinger: Well, we'll see about that.An original enemy of the State.

The Hangover
by Alexander''Whose fucking baby is that?''
A Las Vegas-set comedy centered around three groomsmen who lose their about-to-be-wed buddy during their drunken misadventures, then must retrace their steps in order to find him.
Bradley Cooper: Phil Wenneck
Well, well, well...I think there is so many things to write about The Hangover that I feel a sly smirk spread across my face as I contemplate the possible ways of explaining the experience in a detailed reviewed analysis. Just think, you go in expecting something funny but come out with something unique, intelligent and a storyline that isn't just funny but has a killer soundtrack and addictive watchable quality.
The other thing that amazed me about The Hangover was the amount of cameos and people that pop up during the escapade, even the appearance of a random tiger, and a baby.
The cast is one of those casts that isn't strictly well known, but this is a good thing, the main guys are strangely charismatic and we warm to them instantly as we follow them on their journey to Las Vegas. The music and the scenery merge together and the time seamlessly streams on effortlessly making for such a pleasurable film it becomes a joy rather than a chore. The Hangover cleverly starts off, by dropping us in the future and then zips us back in time to the trip the boys take to Vegas.
SO plot wise to explain, Doug Billings played by Justin Bartha (National Treasure sidekick) is taken on a stag do by his strange mates and future bearded brother in law. This is the normal part...introducing us to the characters.
Bradley Cooper is Phil Wenneck (Alias series),Ed Helms is Stu Price, and
Zach Galifianakis is Alan Garner. These men will make you piss your pants with pleasure, and still the belly laughs keep coming.
Other appearances include Mike Tyson, Ken Jeong and Heather Graham to name but a few who really give the film a surreal sort of awakening in the mists of crazy Las Vegas.
''No, it's a satchel... Indiana Jones has one.''
Another clever aspect about The Hangover is that thanks to the clever way it tells the story switching back and forth and not giving us the whole picture right away, we the audience begin to feel just as at a loss as the main protagonists. This means we are interested to find out where there lost friend is, where the chicken and tiger came from, where the hell a random baby popped up from in their hotel closet. Alan Garner making the baby wank...was so hilarious...A moment that was so wrong but it just worked...still crying from the memory.
The Hangover is a feel good film, probably saying this is an understatement but if you like your humour abit on the shady side, abit of crudeness mixed with a jumble of violent and chaotic chases, then The Hangover is definitely for you. As the movie goes along we see the characters evolve and we rejoice in their happy outcomes, we see them find out what happened, we see them fill in the blanks, and we laugh at WHAT did happen.
Overall, I feel The Hangover is one of the funniest films I've seen this year and I doubt if any others can rival it. Granted it may have competition from the controversial Bruno but I doubt it. This is fun, this is a tight knitted script, a collosus belly laugh throughout and definitely a good promotion for holiday makers planning on Vegas. I will without a doubt be watching this gem once again, for the baby, for the tiger, for the Phil Collins, the police car and woman with the nice rack, and a thousand more circumstances which I won't mention. So what you waiting for?! Go see it!
''I have a question. You probably get this a lot but this isn't the real Caesar's Palace is it?''A hangover you won't forget!

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
by SummerI really enjoyed every minute of this action-packed extravaganza. The action is incredible, the effects are mind boggling and Sam and his parents are often genuinely hilarious. This isn't a film for those looking for a smart plot or realistic story lines - Transformers is a glorified blockbuster that's meant to entertain us and boy does it.
The film isn't perfect, it does drag on a bit too long and there are several things which go unanswered. However, Transformers is a true summer "blow everything up in sight" blockbuster.
